Default Vista - default printer doesn't stay as default

The only real solution would be to disable the fax printer which probably
isn't much use if you occasionally need it.

Thanks for your info. Yes, the fax is first in line amongst the printers.
Is
there a way I can make the default printer stay? Yes I do notice it
doesn't
happen everytime, so it might happen when my system takes longer to logon
to
the network. Can I rename the printer so it appears first on the list?
Other
solutions? Thanks. Much appreciate your info.

I'm
thinking the logon to the network is taking longer, therefore it finds
the
fax first.

I have set up several printers and have one network printer assigned as
'default' printer. I have noticed that this 'default' status for this
printer
does not remain so after I shut down and reboot. It seems to default to
the
Fax printer. I then have to reset the chosen printer as 'default' in
order
to
print. This happens not everytime I shut down - sometimes the default
printer
stays as default.

Anyone have similar experiences? Solution to the problem?
Thanks.

Best regards,
